Rabeprazole (30 mg) & Levosulpiride (75 mg) Capsules are a combination medication used primarily for gastrointestinal disorders. Here's a breakdown of their uses:

• Rabeprazole (30 mg):

• Used in combination with antibiotics to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.

• Levosulpiride (75 mg):
